I don't think Easton sells these directly to the consumer. As far as I know, they sell them only to the manufacturer of the bikes (of which, only one or two companies use it).

Easton is most certainly a trustworthy company as far as quality of product goes. I don't know much about their baseball bats/hockey sticks, but their bicycling products routinely exceed their strength parameters by 3-4x.
